    Not my area of expertise so what's the best answer and why was 1 so wrong?

    Best answer is 3, it's the best cost efficient answer. 1 doesn't even make sense..... It's there to fill in the multiple choice and should never be picked!

    I'd go for RecyclerView because of the reduced boiler plate, ease of integrating animations upon model changes, the fact the views are recycled and the performance benefits you get with it

    Well... Maybe he was planning to implement his own view recycler for the linear layout? ;)
